Future Gaze



It’s hard to know what the future will hold, but it won’t stop people from speculating. In Back To The Future they thought everyone would have hoverboards by the year 2015, at one point in time it was believed everyone would have their own robot and drive hover cars. Sadly this is not the truth, i guess you could argue that out phones are the closest things to robots.

What we have today is still amazing, we can send messages instantly using our phones and the internet, you can talk face to face (screen to screen) with someone across the world from you using skype, our medical advancements are a wonder, you can fight the signs of aging you can track your phone and other phone users with Google latitude, YOU CAN GOOGLE NOW, lost? There is google maps.  How much more creative can we be with our technology? Will it get any better? Or has the technology we have now dumbed us down so we don’t expect much more? I don’t think that is the case, there will always be innovators amongst us someone who dreams of something out of the ordinary and makes it. I would love to see the technology developed 50 years from now, but I will hate being that old person who doesn’t know how to use it and frustrates the young. 

Oh speaking of Back to the Future they also had shoes that tied themselves up for you, someone actually did invent them recently but haven't perfected them I can't remember where I saw that so don't hold me to it. But Nike did make replicas of Marty McFlys shoes: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2392641,00.asp
